Blurry for life?!

Alright I have had people ask me to see my lovely eye when it was swollen up. This picture doesn't do much justice for it, it had gone down some by the time I took it. However to this day, my vision is rather blurry :( The doctor said it shouldn't stay that way, just that it will take awhile for things to heal fully. Hope you all have a great V-day!

it actually looks pretty decent here. It was WAY swollen to the point I couldn't open it and they had to force it open :(
I just thought I'd add a good picture of me for fun... that way everyone didn't remember me looking gross :) hehe

OH PS... who is KentuckyBacon?
it drives me crazy I have no clue who you are and you look at my page lol!!!!

Update

Alright after I posted last my week just got worse. As many of you know I have horrible knees, and that the physically bend in ways they aren't suppose to. I was walking home from class the on Friday when my knee bent backwards. Yes I said it... my knees really pop out of socket and bend backwards, its painful and very odd looking. Of course I fell to the ground, like normal, and the girl behind me just looked at me if I was a freak while I put my knee back in place. So I limp the rest of the way home almost in tears (keep in mind my eyes are still half swollen!). I finally make it home and put on my knee brace and keep heat on it.
For the past couple of days I hadn't been feeling so hot, so I took my temperature, and yes of course I had a fever. Naomi and I were both sick, so we spent the night drugged up on our couches watching movies. I was a mess! Saturday I was feeling somewhat better and I could open my eyes all the way. However my left eye is still blurry :( So I just laid around all day drugged up again.
I did have to write a talk, which was awful, so it seemed. I got that done, but could not sleep for the life of me. I finally fell asleep around 4am Sunday. I have 9am church! So I got up and went (even though I felt like crap) and gave my talk. From what I've been told it went well. I honestly don't remember much of what went on today. I was pumped full of medicine so I wouldn't fall asleep. I do remember the nice conversation I had with Pres. Cannon though. He was glad to see me again and said to tell everyone hi!
After church I SOOOO wanted to go home and sleep... but I couldn't. I'm the ward choir director and we had practice. It was amazing and the Lord is blessing me with a wonderful choir. The work hard and sound better than I imagined. I thought the choir would be about 10-15 people. Boy was I wrong, I have around 30! We're singing next week, and it will be wonderful!
So after practice I came home and crashed hardcore! I slept for almost 3 hours, which I never do during the the day anymore, but it was well needed. I'm bout to head off to bed now, and hope I start to feel better soon. My fever has come down some but its still around 1o0. Hope everyones doing well! I miss and love y'all!!!!!!

BYU- EYE

BYU-I was been pretty decent to me this round. However I have been sick twice now :( The first time my ulcers acted up, this time its my eyes. I woke up this morning and I thought things looked a little blurry, but I thought nothing of it. Then I looked in the mirror and let out a good scream. My left eye was swollen shut. I couldn't open it, and I was worried half to death. I couldn't miss my first class of the day, so I went to class looking like a retard! Afterward I headed to the Health Center where I has to lay down the law and make them see me. They gave me an ointment to put on and an antibiotic. Dad called Bro. Blair and they both told me to go to a real eye doctor. So I looked up all the docs on my insurance and headed to yet another appointment.
I got there and the workers took one look at me and they felt awful for me. I see seen and told not to take the meds I had been given, that they might actually make me worse. I was also given a short eye exam, and was told it had effected my vision. He said that after it all clears up I should get most of it back, but it is horrible right now. I fell down the stairs and a hill today since I have no depth perception at the moment :(
I got home and laid on the couch with heat on it for about 5 hours. Then I decided to ask Matt and Brian for a blessing. I've put them to work this semester (which is a good thing in away lol). After they left the swelling went down some, but not much. HOWEVER my right eye started to swell as well. So now both my eyes are half swollen and it really is crap!
Hopefully things will look up soon. I'm getting headaches and what not from this all too. I'll keep you all posted as I find things out! LOVE Y'ALL!
